Britney Spears
hospitalized after standoff with the cops

Britney Spears has been taken
to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation after a "standoff" with
the cops.

This
cannot get any juicer and yet, no one seems to be surprised with
the latest development in the Britney Spears - Kevin Federline
custody battle. According to the latest reports, Britney Spears
was hospitalized after four-hour long standoff with the cops for
refusing to hand over her two sons to ex K-Fed. Here is the
official statement by the LAPD: "Around 8 p.m. on Thursday,
January 3rd, police were called to Spears' home in Studio City,
California, about a custodial dispute regarding Britney Spears's
children. While officers were on the scene, they observed Ms.
Spears under the influence of an unknown substance. She is now
being taken in for an evaluation, more than likely to a
hospital. There were no reported injuries to anyone involved
including the children."

Reports tell that Britney Spears was
scheduled to hand over the kids to Kevin Federline, who has
temporary custody of their two sons, but she refused, which led
to the cops, fire department and ambulances to show up in front
of her home. She finally gave up and was strapped to a gurney
and taken to a hospital for evaluation. TMZ claims that Jayden
James, Britney's youngest son, was also hospitalized, but this
report has not been confirmed yet.
